3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup fat-free margarine
2 tablespoons sugar

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together flour and baking powder. Add remaining ingredients; blend well with a fork to form dough.
Form dough into a ball. Divide into 24 pieces; roll each into a ball. Place on nonstick cookie sheet; flatten with the bottom of a glass. Bake 10 minutes, until bottoms are light brown. Cool on a wire rack.
Top with your favorite topping... a friend inspired me to use cream cheese (you can use low fat) with your favorite fruit on top. I am going to use sliced strawberries. I will post a picture when I am done and let you know how they turn out! Thanks Mary for the inspiration... or should I say craving...?? :)

PS I put almond flavoring in and they turned out delicious!
